Why do liberals feel entitled to other peoples money?
They always go on about wealth redistribution, and how the rich and successful should be highly taxed, and how minimum wage should be high, etc. What makes them think that they are entitled to this? If someone has worked hard to earn themselves a large salary, why should they be expected to support those who work less hard as a result of working hard themselves? It kinda takes away the incentive to work hard if you know you're just going to be paying a large portion of your money to support wealth redistribution.

For those who believe in a mixed economy where socialization of certain services yields better outcomes, the answer is simple. We don't think the same way you do. We don't view who the makers and the takers are in the same way you do. You are assigning a moral argument to an economic theory. I will later respond to that same moral argument with a question to you. The word " earn" is a fascinating concept. People often equate "earn" with a persons market value or their influence or lack there of on quarterly financials. We don't view " earn" the same way as you.a : to receive as return for effort and especially for work done or services renderedThe country is populated by teachers, scientists, social workers, skilled tradesman, foster care workers, soldiers, nurses, rehab therapists, farmers, police officers, fire fighters,researchers who don't make a significant amount of money.Why should they feel " entitled" to other peoples skills and efforts at deepky discounted rates.Because they provide value to society that isn't reflected by their FINANCIAL earnings. YOU may feel they haven't EARNED and contributed. But WE do. I live in Michigan. We have had a water contamination crisis on our hands. A university professor and his students obtained samples of water, tested them, and helped provide evidence that the water was contaminated. A pediatrician was the one who took it upon herself to have children tested. Will they be getting a huge financial reward? No, not likely. Did they provide a valuable contribution to society? Yes. You can't assign a specific monetary value to what they did, though in the longterm they will have saved money.How do we assign value to saving lives, or preventing deaths? Before someone says to me: but Flint is an example of the failure of government, so the government is not effective. No, Flint is an example of running a state government like a business. Why do opponents of socialized services feel entitled to be the beneficiary of the talents, skills and work of others who don't make make as much money as you , or as much as the people you think " earned it?

We also believe, and there are examples in real life to support it, that socialized services yield better results.
